Teaching about something isn’t the same as advocating it. I studied classical mythology in school. If you had a proper education in Western Civilisation, so did you — but no one expects us to embrace those stories as true.

Christianity is a reality in a great part of the world. So is islam. You can’t understand history or other cultures while being ignorant of the beliefs that underlie everything they do.

Israeli educators are doing their students no favors by confining them to a ghetto worldview that cripples their ability to deal with people who aren’t just like them.

‘Israeli educators are doing their students no favors by confining them to a ghetto worldview that cripples their ability to deal with people who aren’t just like them.”

While I agree a certain amount of education is beneficial the term ‘ghetto’ reveals your stance on Jews.
